An Agile Methodology for Implementing Knowledge Management Systems : A Case Study in Component-Based Software Engineering

Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) is a knowledge-intensive discipline where all activities require the use and the transfer of knowledge between collaborators. A better usage, transfer and application of this knowledge are required factors to face the challenges of CBSE. In this perspective, Knowledge Management (KM) aims at setting up knowledge-focused processes in the organization. Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) are the technological infrastructure supporting these processes. In this paper, the authors present a new methodology of KMS implementation in a CBSE-oriented organization.
